J AYEFF. Flowers are huge, 4 inches and more in 
true diameter, fully double, no centers. 
The color is a deep, positive pink with a dazzling, drifting 
sheen. No other color or flower form like it. Bushy 
plant bears straight stems by the dozens, no pinching. 
Grows to 2 ft., vigorous and healthy, bushy. Flowers 
appear here from the 15th of September and bear with- 
out fading until severe frost.

DRAGON LADY 4 ."e~ mum-color too—a 
satin smooth Chinese Red, 
more striking than Caliph, deeper than Red Velvet. Start- 
ing mid-September, it bloomed continuously for six weeks 
and didn’t fade a shade. Mature flowers develop spoon 
tips. Foliage is an outstanding deep green, almost black, 
extra large, bright as waxed leather. It is a decorative 
growing bush, and a red mass in bloom.

MISS L ACE Pert and saucy, this is the 
glamour of the new group. True 
Grandmothers light pink, a bursting shower of fully 
double, 3 inch blooms sweeping en-masse atop stately up- 
right stems rising in quantity to 2’ ft. in perfect sym- 
metry. Excellent cut-flower, blooms first week in Sep- 
tember, and the fresh pink flowers do not fade for weeks.

Ss ALUTE A perfect deep purple, the memorial 
tribute shade, dedicated to our mem- 
ories. Soft and fluffy, yet so double the petals seem to 
be woven into a tight knit to accommodate them all. It 
is small, extremely bushy, growing to 12 inches and is 
completely covered with mellow, deeply satisfying blooms 
so profuse that the foliage is completely hidden. Blooms 
first week in September and continues for weeks without 
fading. It’s wonderful, born only for the purpose it so 
clearly serves.

PROVEN POPULARITY ... GOOD SEASONAL FLOWERING ... CUT AND DECORATIVE VARIETIES 
Hardy Chrysanthemums 
THE FOLLOWING ARE AVAILABLE OUT OF POTS AND AS ROOTED CUTTINGS 
All of the varieties are propagated in approved greenhouse cultures, Fermate and Sodium Selenate treated for a 
firm, clean start in your planting. 
POT PLANTS are nurtured in 2” rose pots, a size selected for greater volume and deeper tap, making a low, 
well branched, better bound unit for solid shipping and successful transplanting. 
ROOTED CUTTINGS are tips taken for rooting in new sand, clean and sterile, Hormone, Fermate, and Sodium 
Selenate treated. They will reach you fresh and sturdy, low and heavily rooted, for grand results. 
THE LIST is as modern as tomorrow, all grand varieties with a separate and select appeal. Similar items in 
our whole stock have been dropped in favor of the best in the color zone. 
SHIPMENTS FROM THE FIFTEENTH OF MARCH TO JUNE FIFTEENTH 
(Pots and Rooted Cuttings Grouped Here) 
AMBER GOLD. This is a distinctly different new variety. A medium 
tall grower, it bears its flowers atop a strong, heavily foliaged stem. 
The flowers are not generally clustered, 2% to 3 inches, fully double, 
and the color is not duplicated in any other variety. 
POTS — Per 10, $3.00; Per 100, $25.00 
ROOTED CUTTINGS — Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $17.50 
AVALANCHE. This variety easily takes its place among the best whites 
that we have ever seen. The flowers are very large, measuring 4 inches 
across. The flower petals are long, ray-like extensions that occur in so 
good numbers that the effect is richly double. It is a perfect cut 
flower type; early, free-flowering, tall and straight stemmed. 
POTS — Per 10, $2.25; Per 100, $18.00 
ROOTED CUTTINGS — Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $12.00 
BARBARA SMALL. An outstanding tribute to the work of one of the 
finest hybridizers. It blooms a clear rose pink and bears its three-inch 
fully double flowers in prolific mass. Semi-tall sturdy stems and leath- 
ery green abundant foliage make it one of the best of the new ones. 
Blooms Mid-September. 
POTS — Per 10, $2.50; Per 100, $20.00 
ROOTED CUTTINGS — Per 10, $1.75; Per 100, $15.00 
BRONZE PYRAMID. A straight medium tall new variety. Duplex flowers 
are the high toned orange bronze favorite in the Fall. Dozens of branches 
straight from the crown without disbudding. Foliage forest green and 
clean. Perfect cut flower variety. 
POTS — Per 10, $3.00; Per 100, $25.00

EARLY JOAN HELEN. Distinctly new and different, this brilliant large, 
semi-double Mum produces blossoms in such profusion that the plant 
becomes an 18-inch mound of sparkling beauty. Flowers are a rich, 
garnet, shading to Rhododendron purple, and accented by a bright yellow 
center. Blooms in September. Idea! for borders, potting and cutting, 
it will be a command item after its first performance in your planting. 
POTS — Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
ROOTED CUTTINGS — Per 10, $1.25; Per 100, $10.00 
EUGENE A. WANDER. A big, brilliant, glistening golden yellow beauty, 
flowering so freely that the stocky growing plant is almost obscured 
by its branching clusters of big double flowers—each one the height of 
perfection in form. Plant seldom exceeds eighteen inches and is in full 
flower by September 20th—therefore valuable where earliness is impor- 
tant. It is a hardy, easily grown variety, requiring no pinching or special 
handling to produce flowers 4Y% to 5 inches across or larger if disbud- 
ded. Fine also for pot culture. 
POTS — Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
ROOTED CUTTINGS — Per 10, $1.25; Per 100, $10.00 
FLAVITA. Another tribute to the talent of Dr. Kraus. Color is your 
very favorite clear lemon yellow. The nearly double flat three-inch 
flowers are borne in prolific abundance on short, sturdily stemmed 
cleanly foliaged plants. Blooms late September.

ROOTED CUTTINGS — Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $17.50 
GALE. S. A beautiful windblown peach bronze, one of the most unusual 
shades that we have ever seen and the olny variety that we know of that 
bears its color. Flowers are a close duplex of splendid form and are 
borne in profusion on plant of dignity. Grows to 2 feet and blooms 
with the early group.

GOLDEN CHARM. A sturdy, upright grower of recent introduction, now 
proving itself a leader in the tall decorative and cut-flower type. The 
flowers are a pure, rich, uniform golden yellow. 3 to 5 fully double, 3 
inch blooms open, clustered close to the very tip of each stem, almost as 
though they were one huge flower.

ROOTED CUTTINGS — Per 10, $1.25; Per 100, $10.00

ideal for decorative or cutting purposes. Medium high with a handsome 
dark green foliage. In full flower by October 1.
